BTI, EMAXX will debut first 4G wireless service in Cambodia

BTI Systems will team up with Cambodian telecommunications provider EMAXX Telecom to provide mobile backhaul and other related satellite communications services to the lucrative Cambodian market.

EMAXX intends to become the first Cambodian telecom company to offer 4G/WiMAX services, mobile backhaul services, IPLC/DPLC connections, and Ethernet Business Line services to the rapidly-expanding Cambodian market.

To achieve this, it will cooperate with BTI to deploy the BTI 7000 Series platform and pair it with a high-capacity 10G metro Ethernet ring. In addition, EMAXX will be employing the MEF-certified BTI 700 Series to offer a complete range of Ethernet services, such as E-LINE and E-LAN. The proNX Service Management Suite will handle service configuration for both systems.

The new EMAXX system is set for a tentative debut in the capital city of Phnom Penh.

The market for data and mobile services in Cambodia has grown in leaps and bounds. It has also become very competitive. There were nine mobile operators by 2011, and by 2012 it was estimated that those nine operators -including EMAXX- are providing services for 13 million mobile subscribers.
